Fire and Loss of Life.

BALTIMORE, Aug. fire broke out

man, was on n of the lower floors when
the upper floor fell in. He was buried
beneath the ruins and killed. The body
was not recovered. Chief Engineer
Hennick OF the fire department was on the
same floor, and probably fatally injured.
The flames continued to spead to the
stove warehouse of Liebrandt, Mcdowell
& Co., which was destroyed and the ag-
ricnltural warehouse of Whitman & Sons,
the upper part of which was burned out.
On the left of the building in which
the fire started the book and stationery
store of Newton Kurtz & Son, containing
a large stock, was burned, and all the
upper floors of the grain and produce
commission house of L. B. Owens & Co.
were destroyed. The fire spread to the
south and took hold of the rear tin ware
house of E. l.. Parker & Co., fronting on
Charles street, which was wrecked and
the stock ruined. The entire damage is
about $500, 900.

Articles of incorporation for the First
Congregational church, Douglas, Albany
county, were filed at the office of Secre-
tary Shannon yesterday. The i~ncorporat-
ors number t~wenty-one. three of whom,
VIM. f. Hamilton, John B. Adams and
j. Ii. Selkirk, were selected as trustees.
This organization is the outcome of the
disbanding OF the Presbyterian church in
that town OF account Of the action of the
presbytery in depriving Rev. Stanton of
his ecclesiastical standing in that body.
Whether the new society will be recog-
nized by the Congregational church in
convention assembled vet remains to be
seen. In case Rev. Stanton's followers
are not made members Of the Congrega-
tional conference they propose to main
tain a separate and independent society.
The Douglas pastor was recently tried by
church authorities in Brooklyn, n. Y,
aud convicted of domestic irregularities,
and cut off from the church. His pre-
vlous record seems to cut no figure with
the Douglasites, and if they wish to re-
tain his services, and they apparently so
desire, it is a matter for them alone to
consider

The Kentucky Election

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 4.-There are no
returns this forenoon in addition to those
In the morning papers. A fair idea of
the situation Is contained in the estimate
of the Courier Journal, which says: The
additional eturn this forenoon do not
give any indication of a great swell. AS
far ar we can judge the Democratic losses
are due to the confidence and indifference
in our party and the unusually good or
ganization of the Republicans. The Re.
publicans voted and the Democrats stayed
at home. Our returns are from f~ifty.siX
counties which cast 60 per cent of the
whole vote of the state. The Republican
vote in the counties reporting is a little
over 60 per cent of the total, and the
Democratic vote is a little over IS per
cent. Of these, tifty-six counties show a
loss from Cleveland's majority of 1889
Cor 7,7l0). If the rate oflosses and gains
continues the same for the remaining 40
per cent, the net Democratic loss will be
IL, $50, leaving Buckner a majority over
Bradley of 81, 9S9.
The Republicans are claiming better
things than this from the mountain coun-
ties, but some of their best counties have
been reported, while the counties in the
western part of the state have been very
slow with their returns.
There is nothing whatever in the situa-
ton that indicates a greater proportionate
loss in the remaining counties, and with
information obtainable this morning we
do not doubt that Buckner will have %,
600 more votes than Bradley. IF the
majority is not as large as our pride de-
mands, the Democrats have only them
selves to blame.
The Commercials summary is as fol
lows: SeventY-eIght counties have re-
ported SO far, leaving forty one to report.
The figures are from the most reliable
dispatches and agree with the returns re
ceived at both the Republican and Demo.
cratic headquarters. The average Re-
publican gain per county from the reports
50 far received is 1926. On the
same ratio the net Republican gain of the
whole state will be 3 ,675. This will
leave a majority for Buckner, counting
the vote for Knott A, 400, of UPS. The
gross Republican gain so far as heard
from is 25,0G0. Six counties show a
Democratic gain of $50, leaving a net Re.
publican gain of 24,44l.

MONEYS METHODS.
An Internal Machine Among
the Effects of Mooney,
The Man Who Tried to Blow
Up the Steamer Queen.
Canadian Officials Refuse to
Surrender McGarigle.
A Small Arsenal.

NEW YORK, Aug. All prominent
lrishmen of this city deny any knowledge
OF Mooney, the man arrested yesterday
for attempting to blow up the ocean
steamer Queen, of the National line.
MONEYS effects were found in a zinc
covered oak pound trunk and two ~valises,
all carefully packed as though the man
had made preparations for a hasty de-
parture. In the trunk we're found two
pieces OF pipe, u package Of powder,
sulphur PHOSPHORUS, crystals Of chloride
OF potassium, several glass tubes, and
some blasting caps for Atlas powder, be
sides clothes and notebooks. There we're
pictures of DR.. McGlynD and a few per-
sonal letters. Several yards OF fuse and a box
oil dra1ghtmans instruments completed
the list. The pipes were of heavy brass,
OF unequal lengths, n at about one
third of the distance from one end of
each was a cock, which the police did not
attempt to turn to day. The shank of
the cock was of a soft metal hat could
be eaten away by acid placed in the
smaller end of the chamber, and thus ex-
plode the contents of the larger:
Capt. Joslyn, who made the examina-
ton, remarked that Mooney was ready
to blow up a feet.
Mooney was arraigned in court to day,
and took occasion to say that he is not an
~ex-convict. The police exhibited his
chemicals and Internal machine, and told
how a search in the bath rooms of the
house where he lodged showed that he
had used it as a laboratory. Mooney said
he was an inventor, and that these we're
part of his experimental materials; that
he is now engaged IN a torpedo boat, and
the navy about it. He had, he said, also
been in communication with the secretary
of the French navy. He had not yet
business EXPOSED. He was remanded for
examination as to his sanity.

RESULT OF THE RAIDS.
Five Women Lying in jail Unable To
PAY Their Fines.

OF the twenty eight inmates of houses
of ill fame notified to pay $IS each into
the city treasury, leave the city or be con-
fined In Jail. t~wentY-three paid and the
remaining five now lie in that portion
OF the city Jail known as the woman's de-
partment. So far as can be learned not
a single one left town. About every
hour yesterday one of them would request
an interview with the city marshal and
ask him to hunt up a certain party"
who would pay her fine too quick to
mention. The parties" indicated were
found, but almost unanimously refused to
be bled. Friends of some of the prisoners
appeared occasionally, and laying $l8 on
on the marshal's desk, asked that Blanche
or Maude or May be liberated. Several
OF the women were quite intelligent, and
a few OF them rather handsome. One of
the former stated the matter pretty fairly
when she inquired by what law inmates
of establishments which paid a liquor
license were overlooked, and insisted that
it was but just that all should be treated
alike.
1t is the policy of the authorities tor
weed Out the low dives, and with this OBJ
iect in view the houses where the dis
turbance brewer called the ''growler''
was an important factor were made the
target of police interference.

CHICAGO, Aug, 4.-The expectations
that by to night a verdict would be
reached in the Doodle cases were dashed
this morning by the jurors, several of
whom were feeling indisposed and re
quested an early adjournment. 1t was
agreed that only Mr.. Hardy, for the de-
Tense, and Gen. Styles, for the prosecu
ton, should speak to-day, the final ad-
dresses being reserved for to. morrow,

scored some clever points in his speech.
He maintained that the defendants were
on trial for conspiracy, not corruption,
and that conspiracy had not been proven.

stated that when he was a young law
yer. practicing in Lowell, Mass. IA

his little deposit and buy real estate.

revenue The general said that he
had but little money and was uncert-

Of real estate, bid of a lot with a
building Of some kind on it, pay down
what money you have and give your
promissory notes for the balance.
You will come out all right"
General Butler says this advice was
good. When n man has obligated
himself. by his notes, to pay money
at certain time, it inclines him to
economy. He followed the advice,
and in time became the owner OF sew
eral parcels Of valuable real estate in
Lowell.
Two classes will not be likely to
heed such advice-the inprovident
and the over-cautious. The latter
will be apt to say: 1T would be all
